What is the QUEST card and how does it work?

The QUEST card is a debit-like card that is loaded with your FoodShare benefits on the same day each month. It can be used at most grocery stores and some Farmers’ Markets to purchase groceries. It can even be used for qualified Community Support Agriculture (CSA) shares and Meals on Wheels!

Using the QUEST Card is easy:

Check your balance by calling 1-877-415-5164 or looking at the bottom of your last receipt

Let the cashier know that you are using your QUEST Card

Tell your cashier if you will be using another form of payment in addition to the QUEST Card

Swipe the QUEST Card at the card terminal or hand the card to the cashier to swipe

After you enter your PIN, your FoodShare benefits will be applied to all eligible items in your purchase. You are responsible for paying for any remaining balance after your FoodShare benefits have been applied to the total. It's that easy!
